Install

Get zip file from releases or install using Composer

composer require findkit/wp-findkit

Note that this assumes you have configured extra.installer-paths for WordPress plugins in your main composer.json. See this article for details.

Page Meta

The plugin automatically exposes basic Findkit Page Meta by generating the Findkit Meta Tag.

Following fields are automatically added

• showInSearch: Archive pages are automatically excluded
• title: Clean page title
• created: Created time
• modified: Modified time
• langugage: Language from the post or Polylang
• tags: Some basic tags including public taxonomies

These can be modified and other fields can be added using the findkit_page_meta filter.

add_filter('findkit_page_meta', function ($meta, $post) {
    $meta['title'] = 'My custom title';
    return $meta;
}, 10, 2);

Live Update

The plugin can automatically trigger near instant recrawls as pages are being created/edited/deleted. Enable live update in the plugin settings.

JWT Authentication

The Findkit Search Endpoint can be configured to require JWT token authentication.

Setup

This plugin automatically generates a private / public key pair to the findkit_pubkey and findkit_privkey options. Add the public key to the findkit.toml file and set the endpoint to private:

[search-endpoint]
private = true
public_key = """
-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
"""

You can get the public key value with the wp cli for example.

wp option get findkit_pubkey

and deploy the change.

Put the findkit project id to findkit_project_id and set findkit_enable_jwt to a truthy value to enable JWT token generation which will be automatically picked by the @findkit/ui library.

wp option set findkit_project_id 'plnGp6Rv0'
wp option set findkit_enable_jwt 1

Authentication

By default this plugin allows only users logged in to use the search endpoint but it can be modified using the findkit_allow_jwt filter:

add_filter('findkit_allow_jwt', function ($allow) {
    return current_user_can('edit_posts');
}, 10, 1);

Whitelabel

Wp-findkit plugin like the findkit service is a whitelabel product. You can customize the displayed name with filters.

Ex. Renaming page sidebar settings:

	add_filter('gettext_with_context_findkit', function($translation, $text, $context) {
		if ('Findkit' === $text && 'Sidebar options label' === $context){
			return 'My Product Name';
		}
		return $translation;
	}, 10, 3);
